# Deleting a Transaction

After you have entered your transactions there are times when you may need to make changes to them or delete them.

:::(Info) (Note)
If you wish to delete a Xero transaction then you will need to [unreconcile](https://help.infoodle.com/help/finance/finance-xero/unreconcile-transaction) it first and then click **Don't import** on the [reconcile screen](https://help.infoodle.com/help/finance/transactions/reconciling-transactions).

Infoodle will not allow you to edit or delete a transaction that has already been receipted. If you need to delete or correct a mistake on a transaction that has already been receipted then click [here](https://help.infoodle.com/help/finance/receipts/deleting-receipt) for more instructions. (Click [here](https://help.infoodle.com/help/finance/finance-terms/terminology-different-countries) for definitions of receipts and statements as different terminology is used in different countries).

Here's how to delete non-Xero transactions:

1. To find the transaction you wish to edit then go to [Searching for a transaction](https://help.infoodle.com/help/finance/transactions/searching-transaction).

2. Click **Edit** alongside the transaction that you wish to delete.
3. When a batch has been closed, it is locked from further editing, therefore to edit this transaction you will first need to open the batch, then edit the transaction as above. Click **Re-Open** to do this. Remember that you may need to re-generate any reports and check balances again if you alter the values in the batch.
4. Click **DELETE TRANSACTION**.
